Premature Ejaculation

What is premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) occurs when a man reaches climax, or “finishes,” sooner than he would like. PE may occur while having sex or while masturbating. While the condition does not cause any long-term health problems, it can cause stress, anxiety, and relationship problems.

PE can be embarrassing and frustrating, both for the man experiencing PE and his partner. Premature ejaculation is a favourite punch line for some comedians, but making fun of PE can cause some men to suffer in silence. Many men feel uncomfortable talking about their problems with their partners or even seeking help from their doctors.

Many men experience early ejaculation at one time in their lives. Sexual inexperience, an extended period between sexual encounters, and nervousness while having sex with a new partner can cause a man to have an orgasm too soon.

How doctors diagnose and describe premature ejaculation

All men are different – some men last longer during sexual encounters than others – so what one person considers “premature” might be the right amount of time for another individual. Doctors typically diagnose premature ejaculation when a man has an orgasm within two minutes of arousal most of the time. Doctors can also help determine the causes of early ejaculation.

Causes of premature ejaculation

Three main factors contribute to an early climax:

• Psychological factors, such as stress, guilt, anxiety, and lack of confidence
• Physical factors, including multiple sclerosis, vascular conditions, neurological-related problems, and spinal cord injuries
• Lifestyle factors, such as the use of alcohol, tobacco, and drugs

Symptoms of premature ejaculation

Duration in bed varies from man to man, but most medical professionals define PE as ejaculation within two minutes of arousal. Almost every man will experience early ejaculation at least once, so a man will usually have to experience an early climax frequently before a doctor diagnoses him as having premature ejaculation.

A man may experience premature ejaculation during a variety of sexual activities, including:

• Vaginal sex
• Oral sex
• Anal sex
• Masturbation
• Physical contact

Treatment for premature ejaculation

Treatment for premature ejaculation can benefit any man who reaches climax sooner than he hopes. Several therapies treat premature ejaculation – what works for one man may not necessarily work for another. The treatment approach a doctor may suggest depends largely on the underlying cause for PE, the length of time a man has experienced symptoms, and the regularity at which he has early climaxes.

Couples therapy and other types of psychological treatment can help men and their partners explore issues affecting the relationship. Therapy also provides an opportunity to learn techniques, such as the squeeze technique or the stop-go technique, which help counteract premature ejaculation.

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be helpful in the treatment of PE. Routinely prescribed for depression, SSRIs increase the time before ejaculation by reducing any stress, anxiety or other psychological factors leading to PE. Doctors refer to the use of SSRIs for PE rather than for depression as “off label use,” which means SSRIs are not actually intended for PE.

Prescription medication is the most effective way to help men last longer in bed. One medication in particular, Priligy, effectively treats premature ejaculation. Priligy contains dapoxetine, the first and only prescription medication developed specifically for the treatment of PE. While Priligy is not a cure, it can provide short-term treatment for PE. This modern prescription drug can treat early ejaculation and help you last up to three times longer.

Many medications work best when you use them alongside other medical treatments. This is true with Priligy, too – it works better with other methods that provide long-term relief from premature ejaculation.

How to prevent premature ejaculation

You can prevent premature ejaculation by taking a few simple steps.

1. Identify the source of your PE:

• Evaluate the psychological, physical or lifestyle factors causing your early ejaculation.
• Assess whether your PE is a recent problem or a long-term issue.
• Determine whether your PE is situational or occurs regularly.
• Consult with your physician or an online affiliate website that connects patients to registered prescribers and a registered pharmacy if you have trouble pinpointing the cause of your PE.

2. Try these tips to last longer:

• Deep breathing to control arousal and tension that leads to PE
• Have sex with your partner on top, which allows your partner to pull away when you are close to climax
• Take breaks during sex to increase the overall duration of your sexual encounter
• Participate in couples therapy to resolve any psychological factors leading to early ejaculation and to learn other tips to extend your sexual encounters

3. Use products that help you last longer in bed

• Use thick condoms to decrease the sensation
• Apply a delay spray or cream that contains a mild anaesthetic to decrease the sensation
• Wear a condom which contains a numbing substance on the inside of the condom

4. Practice a technique that helps prevent or slow down premature ejaculation:

• Use the squeeze technique by squeezing the shaft of your penis between your thumb and forefinger just before ejaculation
• Try the start-stop technique, in which you stop for a short break midway through the sexual encounter
